Go-Ped GTR Roadster Gas Powered Full Suspension Off Road Scooter Review

I live off campus and purchased a GTR Roadster to commute to school and back. This thing is GREAT!Good gas milage, good speed (posted speeds on our roads are 25-35 mph.)My trip is about 3.5 miles round trip, and I sometimes make the trip 2 times a day. I enjoy the ride,and look forward to hitting the road, even if I am heading to class!Solid construction and good dependablity.

Go-Ped City Sport Gas Powered Cruising Scooter (Multiple Colors) Review

so i got this scooter because i need a way to get around till i get a car. I'm not light,304 lbs, and this little 29cc motor scooter gets me around just fine. Go-Ped is THE BEST when it comes to scooters. AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF, i got this from amazon for less than $385, you can't get it for less than 450 everywhere else on the web. it's got a million aftermarket parts as well. i put a $65 exaust on it and a $12 air filter, so now i can get up any hill i want.ALL IN ALL, i love my Go-Ped and if your looking for a fun and easy way to get around this is the way to go.

Product Description:
The model that launched the motorized scooter trade more than 20 years ago, the Go-Ped Sport is a solid, no-frills gas scooter that's reliable and easy to maintain. The Sport features a heavy-duty, aircraft-quality steel frame that supports up to 400 pounds, along with a wide, low-riding platform that's smooth and stable. As a result, the scooter is ideal for teens and active adults who demand top quality at an affordable price.
The Sport is outfitted with a race-born GPL290 engine that's been reconfigured for _quieter operation and fuel economy, yet is still amazingly powerful in its small and lightweight package. The engine variation is created through its modified cylinder, which has smaller intake and exhaust ports, a nonadjustable carburetor, and an intake silencer. Add the features together and you get an engine that delivers smooth yet thrilling acceleration, great torque for climbing hills, and speeds of up to 20 miles per hour.
Other details include Go-Active rubber tires, a 26-mile range per tank, a reliable direct-friction drive system, a fuel tank capacity of 1 liter, a kickstand, caliper front brakes, and rear engine compression braking. The scooter--which offers handlebars that fold and lock for easy transport and storage--measures 34 by 42 by 13 inches (W x H x D) and carries a lifetime warranty on the frame and forks.

Go-Ped Know-Ped Push Scooter Review

Very well built, tough, great ride.Easy to ride even for someone who's never ridden one as a kid.Got this to give my dog a better workout during afternoon walks, and now we both get a great workout.

I'm 45, 6'5" tall.After shopping for various electric and gas scooters, decided to get this because I read that for 1-2 mile distances, this was all you needed.It is!Half the weight of any gas or electric scooter.

I've had the KnowPed for about a year, and also got a Xootr Mg last month, after reading that the Xootr "goes 3-4 times as far on a flat surface, with the same number of kicks".That may be, but as I discovered, most people don't ride on a perfectly smooth, flat surface, but on streets and sidewalks, and there, the Xootr's better glide makes little difference.The Xootr's lower deck helps kicking a little, but over a 1-2 mile loop, the overall effort is the same. Except for sections where a lot of braking is needed, and there, the KnowPed is less effort thanks to its better brakes. If you're going to be riding 5+ miles over smooth sidewalk, the Xootr will save you some effort.

The Xootr deck flexes side-to-side when you change feet, but this is more a matter of hinge design, than of build quality.The flex doesn't really affect ride quality, it just takes a little getting used to. Xootr is also noisier, and has a slightly harsher ride, but neither is worth worrying about.The Xootr may technically be lighter, but the KnowPed is more rigid and feels lighter.The Xootr's T bar extends higher above the deck than the KnowPed's, however this isn't necessary, even for very tall people (I'm 6'5"), unless they're going to be riding 5+ miles.The ability to set a lower hieght is an advantage to anyone less than 5' tall.Xootr claims their backwards oriented front wheel fork is more stable than competing design, which is true, but their narrow wheel is more likely to jam in a crack, so its a wash.Both scooters require you keep two hands on the T bar at all times, so make sure you have a backpack to carry supplies. I clip my dog's leash to my belt when taking him for a trot.(Jan 2009 update: Safety is excellent in my opinion: The Xootr can spill when the wheel jams in a sidewalk crack. The KnowPed can spill if you take one hand off the T bar.Total spills in 3 years: 2 for Xootr, 2 for KnowPed. Embarrassing, but kind of exhilarating, too, for the few moments of weightlessness.Don't worry, have fun!)

Two Xootr's attractions are its sophisticated looks, and narrower deck.If I were wearing a suit, I'd rather be riding the Xootr.The Xootr's shorter adjusting T bar is also good for use by children.(A GrowPed also serves here).The KnowPed's deck is a little too wide for my taste, but not enough for me to do anything about it.If that really bothers someone with carpentry skills, they could take a router to the wooden deck.

Both are fine scooters, but overall I like the KnowPed better than the Xootr, even if it were the same price as the Xootr, and not half the cost.Simpler, to use, quicker to fold, and super reliable.Fantastic brakes compared to the Xootr, and easier to control.The rear brake is much more effective and easier to use than the Xootr's, because its easier to step on.The KnowPed is quieter, and looks great. Unless you like the Xootr's appearance and styling better, I'd recommend the KnowPed to anyone looking for a kick scooter.

UPDATE: April 2008. Re: Xootr noise- there is a simple way to quiet the fender rattle: piece of sponge between the brake and fender. Also I am really getting used to the much taller T bar on the Xootr.It lets me stand completely upright. Have to recommend the Xootr for riders over, say, 6'1" who are going on 5+ mile rides. Also, the KnowPed is no longer that much cheaper than the Xootr. Still, the KnowPed is an excellent scooter: simple, tough and reliable.

UPDATE: Jan 2009.Folding: both scooters fold, but the Xootr is more compact when folded and has a great shoulder strap available.Pop it on your shoulder and both hands are free.My favorite rides are anywhere along Manhattan's riverside Greenways, anywhere that's super crowded like China Town. Scooters are a great way to see a crowded flat city like NYC.Even checked mine in on the airplane so I could scoot around Austin during a business trip.

Razor Spark DLX Scooter Review

sturdy, well made, daughter loves it ~ purchased as open box for $53 & was perfect condition & better price than $70-80 new so feel this was a good deal. spark/flint cartridges do not last long but that was expected

Click Here to see more reviews about: Razor Spark DLX Scooter

Product Description:
Light up your ride even more than before with the Razor Spark DLX scooter. The original Spark scooter--an upgrade itself from the classic A kick scooter--introduced the idea of creating an awesome trail of sparks each time you step on the scooter. The Spark DLX, however, takes it to the next level by adding 50 percent more sparks to the mix. The improved sparking cartridges team up with the Spark DLX's new foot-controlled, detachable spark bar and 98mm LED light-up urethane wheels to give your scooter ride an explosive new feel. Just step on the sparking bar and watch the sparks fly. The Spark DLX is made of aircraft-grade aluminum, a sturdy material that holds up to use and abuse through the years. The T-tube and deck, meanwhile, fold into a compact footprint, so riders can fit the scooter inside a bag or carry it at their side when riding isn't appropriate (it weighs around 6 pounds). And thanks to the Spark DLX's full-length grip tape, the scooter offers better traction and control than before. Other features include ABEC-5 bearings, a patented rear fender brake, and a bonus spark cartridge. Recommended for ages 8 and older, the Razor Spark DLX supports riders up to 143 pounds.

Razor Spark Scooter Review

I enjoyed fast service and mint condition of product when it arrived. Product itself was not as described. Sparks were not as awesome as I thought they should be and the cartridges were used up faster than I expected. Also you can get a 2pk at Target for $10 and online the price is $20 plus shipping.
I like the scooter itself, the wheels seem more efficient with smoother ride than other scooters I have tried, but I don't think the "Sparks" aspect was really worth the $20 more I paid for it.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Razor Spark Scooter

Product Description:
Adding a bit of spark to the original kick scooter, the Razor Spark has modified its A2 scooter with a foot controlled, detachable Spark Bar to light up your ride. The Spark Scooter's spark cartridge creates 20 percent more sparks than other brands on the market thanks to its 5 flint pads. A bonus spark cartridge is included.

Light up your ride with the Razor Spark. The Razor Spark is built of aircraft-grade aluminum, a sturdy material that holds up to use and abuse through the years. Its T-tube and deck, meanwhile, fold up into a compact footprint, so riders can fit the scooter inside a bag or carry it at their side when riding isn't appropriate (it weighs 7 pounds). And thanks to the 98mm inline-style urethane wheels, ABEC 5 bearings, and patented rear fender brake, riders will always feel smooth and in control when kicking along the sidewalk.

Recommended for ages 8 and older, the Razor Spark will support a rider up to 143 pounds. It's also backed by a six-month warranty.

Specifications:

The buyer and rider of the Razor Spark scooter are responsible for knowing and obeying all local, state, and federal regulations regarding the riding and use of scooters.

Kent Super Scooter Review

I ordered one Kent Super Scooter with the Schwinn Scooter as a pair.The Kent was a few buck cheaper than the Schwinn and much Nicer.Wheels are bigger, back and front brakes and handel bar adjustmet for small and somewhat larger kids.The Schwinn is too small for my 8 year old and cannot be adjusted.The Kent is still a little too short for my 11 year old, but a MUCH Better Buy than the more expensive smaller Schwinn.Now I'm just looking for a scooter built like the Kent with taller handel bars for bigger kids.Wish I could ship the Schwinn Back and get a second Kent for my 5 year old.

It weighs 18 pounds, has a maximum handlebar height of 35.5 inches, and measures 46.5 inches long.

Go-Ped Grow-Ped Kick Scooter (Multiple Colors) Review

I'm very happy with this scooter.The wheels are larger and the foot board has a higher ground clearance so it is safer than cheaper scooters.Your child is less likely to go flying if he or she hits a bump in the sidewalk.It has a hand break as well as a foot break, which is a nice option if a child gets flustered and has trouble working the foot break.Although my 4 foot tall 6 yo is large enough to use it, I think it will be even better in a couple years.The handle is not height adjustable but it does fold down.I'd say it is best for children between 4 and 5 feet.I'm5' 2" and it is just a trifle too short for me (but I enjoy riding it anyway).I want the adult version!

Product Description:
A miniature version of the Know-Ped, the Grow-Ped kick scooter is designed for the young scooter enthusiast. The Grow-Ped is handcrafted from high-grade, aircraft-quality materials, including a 4130 Chromyl frame and a patented, cantilevered Chromyl fork. The handlebars and frame, however, are shorter and smaller than the Know-Ped's, making it ideal for smaller children. Other details include high ground clearance, front and rear brakes, and a folding design for easy storage.
